# Session packs

Session packs are one-time packs of credits. A gym might sell a 10-class card. They are not a recurring plan. Recurring billing is [memberships](./memberships.md).

This tool needs [payments](./payments.md) and the [customer portal](./customer-portal.md). Ask your agent to turn `sessionPacks` on.

## Add a pack

1. Sign in as the owner.
2. Open admin → **Catalog**.
3. Fill **Add a pack** on the right: name, description, price, session credits, and optional expiry.
4. Press **Add pack**.

1. The **Add a pack** form
2. **Add pack**

Credits are 1 to 10,000. Expiry is days from the grant, 1 to 3,650, or none. No expiry means leftover credits do not run out.

Staff can look. Only an owner can change packs.

## How a customer buys

They sign in and open `/portal/session-packs`. Checkout is a one-time payment on **your** Stripe account.

Without Stripe keys, local and preview deploys simulate the purchase. Nothing is charged.

## How credits get used

- When group session booking is on, booking a session uses **one credit per place**.
- If staff add the person to a session, that also uses a credit.
- If booking is off, staff use **Check in / use credit** on the [customer](./customers.md) page.

If they cancel or you remove them from the session, the credit is put back. Expired lots do not count as available.

If session packs are off, group booking does not charge a credit.

## What you see

Admin → **Customers** → the person. You will see remaining credits and the next expiry, if any. You can **Update credits** (an admin grant) or check them in.

Portal home has a **Your packs** card.

## Refunds

A pack purchase is a [payment](./payments.md). Owners refund from admin → Payments. Hand the money back yourself for cash or a simulated payment.
